Phil Collins Aspires To Position Of Rock’s Resident Nutbar
With the recent demise of Pink Floyd founder Syd Barrett, the rock world has started searching in earnest for another lunatic to fill the vacancy that Barrett left when he passed away this week at the age of 60.
One early contender to the throne is none other than Phil Collins, the former drummer of Genesis and eighties pop star, who has been living in a converted garage ever since his recently released comeback album failed to sell a single copy, according to Billboard Magazine.
"I don’t know why we didn’t see this earlier," stated Billboard staffer Jack Wolfman. "Just look at some of his song titles for cryin' out loud! Abacab? Paperlate? And what about Sssssudio?"
Wolfman added that "the only reason this slipped by us for so long, is that these songs are so damn catchy!"
Billboard plans to publish the results of a poll they conducted on the subject in next month’s issue. As of press time, Collins was clearly in the lead, although Terrence Trent D’arby and Cat Stevens were garnering some early support as well.

Is Phil still on the right side of the grass? Haven't heard about him in ages.
